RE: Spanning-tree

Yes, but effectively it would prevent the other switch from seizing root bridge. I think that is what he was looking for...
Otherwise maybe

spanning-tree vlan x-y root primary !

priority command is not used there either.

I guess it depends on the point of view of which switch you are configuring... and what order they are patched in to each other, etc... rootguard seems the simplest solution.

Maybe dsl152 can fill us in on more specifics...

wouldn't rootguard cause the switch that rootguard is config'd on to then partition (isolate) that switch that is attempting to become root? is that what you (dsl152) were trying to accomplish? block/shutdown that switch that is attempting to become root?
